Ambedkar University Delhi (AUD) released its final cut-off list on Tuesday, with several courses registering a dip of up to 10%.

For B.A.(Hons.) Social Sciences and Humanities, the required percentage has fallen to 80% for Delhi-NCR students from the arts stream. For English, history and sociology, students need to have scored 83.25%, 83.5% and 85%, respectively. This is a fall from 92%, 93.5% and 93.5% required in the same subjects in the first list.

For B.A.(Hons.) Economics, students from the commerce stream need 89%, those from the arts stream need 84% and those from the science stream need 88%.

To study psychology, the required cut-off, however, is still high, with Delhi-NCR students from the arts stream requiring 90% to secure admission.

Those from the commerce and science streams require 95% and 94%, respectively.

Good news

Despite the significant fall in cut-offs, seats are still vacant in English, economics, history, psychology, sociology, and social sciences and humanities for both Delhi-NCR and outstation students.

Admissions have closed only for B.A.(Hons.) Mathematics for students from Delhi-NCR

The admissions under the fourth list will take place on July 19 and 20. The orientation programme will be held on August 1.
